Terabith Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Get Outside Now And Do Stuff And yes, I'm quite sure they are aware of the acronym. This is a hippie school with a quidditch team, where all the teachers teach in birkenstocks and tshirts, and the teachers all go by their first names.

SKL Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 LOL. My brother used to be in amateur bands. At one point (mid-1980s), they were reorganizing and looking for a new name. One suggestion was "the Nads," so people could yell "Go, Nads!" It didn't fly though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 What a fantastic school! I would love to be a part of a school like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty neat school. They also don't have typical high school English and history classes. Last year my kid took a semester on The Epic of Gilgamesh and a semester on "Interwar Russian Science Fiction." And US history. This semester they are taking a class on "Sea Faring Tales" and a Shakespeare class. They also have pretty open campus and can walk downtown to get take out from restaurants, which gives valuable practice in independent navigation before driving. And a big class has like 8 kids. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just amazing and the way HS should be. Obviously the teachers and administrators running it are my people. I wish I could find my way to this lovely school/lovely people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 To be honest, I have real questions about their funding scheme. We kinda joke that it's a mob front, because the school only has like 70 kids. Tiny classes. And tuition is like $5,000 a year, which even for our relatively low cost of living area, is INSANELY cheap for private school. But, I'm just grateful, so if it is a mob front, I'm just going to say thank you. 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This is important . . . What’s growing in their garden? I’d bet money that they have an organic garden that could potentially find the whole operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a lot of outdoor space, and it's mostly taken up with tents and tables, because for most of the year they aren't allowed to eat indoors because of covid. There's also a train that literally runs through the school yard about 20 feet from the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me tell you, if I was part of that school I would have the same reaction as you--just say thank you and be grateful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Another fun fact about this high school: there is a random toilet on a landing of the stairwell. It's not hooked up to plumbing or anything. It's like people were carrying it upstairs and got tired and just abandoned it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not_a_Number Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I wonder if they have some private donors or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
